Put me at ease
Dr. Bivens has been an excellent provider! I received a tummy tuck, MR, breast lift, lipo, and breast augmentation this past June. Dr. Bivens takes the time to listen to his patients concerns and is logical in many aspects of the healing process. Any question I had he was answered with reassurance and kindness which put me at ease. I highly recommend Dr. B and will go to him in the future.
I had an original BBL with Dr. Compoginis at Pacific Lipo, due to uneven liposuction incomplete lipo on my arms back and stomach I went back for revision along with mini tummy tuck to correct c-section scarring and correct asymmetry to old tummy tuck scar caused by pregnancy ended up getting Round 2 BBL with Dr. Bivens, and my mini tt with him and corrective lipo... He did an excellent job to say the least, and very well priced! Awesome bedside manner, but I'd likely go

I would recommend Dr. Bivens to anybody
Wow! What an amazing experience with Dr.Bivens. After so many zoom meetings in 2020 I was very concerned with my neck. I went to Dr. Bivens after doing extensive research on all the plastic surgeons in my area. I was even willing to fly outside my area to get the right surgeon. I am so happy with my results. His staff were amazing too. Everything went smoothly. I would recommend Dr. Bivens to anybody who is interested in this type of procedure.

Great and Natural Look
I had my first ever surgery with him when I was 19 years old. I’ve had them in for 4 years and it was a pleasant Journey. He gave me exactly what I wanted. I wanted them very large but still natural looking. No one ever believes they are fake because they look and feel so natural.

BBL loving my shape
Im writing this review because I hope it helps someone out there. I would literally stalk RS looking for reviews to see what other girls went they getting this procedure. It took me 2 yr to finally go thru with the procedure cause it was so hard to find the right doctor. I went to a couple consultations and finally decided with Dr Bivens. He’s such a great doctor and very informative. He clears any doubts or fears you have and he’s trust worthy due to the years of experience he

consuItation: went into the office and told my doctor i wanted to be a D cup from my flat chested A cup. He suggested 600cc but it thought that would have been too big. So i went with 500cc on my left and 550 on my right. Pre-op: Signed forms, walked into take pregnancy test then my doctor marked me before taking me into the OR. the anesthesiologist was very professional. The staff was very awesome. they first gave me "tequila" thru iv to calm my nerves, i low-key felt really

25 Years Old at the Time of Reconstruction. - Atlanta, GA
Was very insecure about my large, African breasts at the time. I had lost a lot of weight from a size 14, down to a size 4. I was wearing a 38DDD with purple bruises on my shoulders from the poor straps buckling when I wore my bras. I slept with a bra on due to the weight. I hated taking my bra off due to the actual aerial sizing of my nipple area. I was mortified of my breasts and did not feel sexy in any way. Dr. Bivens took great care of me and did his fancy handiwork on my

Midsection Liposuction @ 23 Years Old
After months of researching plastic surgeons all around Southern California, I finally decided on Dr. Bivens at Pacific Lipo San Diego!

I had liposuction to the full abdomen, flanks, love handles, and posterior bra roll. The total cost of the procedure was $5990, NOT including an extra $150 for lab work/Covid
